Chapter Four

"It feels so comfortable, I love it," she had even forgotten why she was there in the first place. 'Why is this man treating me so gently like I am not here for business. First, he meets me at the elevator and now asking me if I love his office. Am I missing something?' she thought to herself but didn't voice it out.

She was there for a business meeting and that's the only thing she should focus on, not his special attention towards her.

"Then make yourself comfortable. What should I get you?" Seth was just watching her quietly battle with herself without saying anything. He didn't want to come out as a...player, he could call it that.

"Warm water please," Gaby had had her breakfast before her dad called her so she was opting for something warm and light since it was still early in the morning and still a little cold. She made herself comfortable at the only one-seater sofa available in the room.

If she sat in the two-seater, what are the chances of Seth sitting at the same space as her? She didn't want to know, she was clearly affected by him and she didn't want it to be that obvious so she opted for the safest method, sitting far from him.

"Alright," Seth went into his lounge room and a few seconds later emerged with a glass of what she assumed was the warm water. Seth immediately noticed the cautiousness in her eyes and the way she sat like she was being pricked by needles but didn't say anything about it. He handed her the glass of water and sat at the seat she had left for him.

"Thanks," she said as she sipped the water handed to her only to raise her eyebrows in surprise at Seth. It wasn't just the warn water she asked, it was her favourite honey water.

"I added a bit of honey to make it taste. Hope you don't mind," Seth answered casually like it was the right thing to do. After he had made that request to Mr Jones, he had taken the liberty to look into what she likes. It was not that hard to find since her family saw well known and these simple things were there on the internet.

Even though he knew that his request was out of line and that she might not agree, he knew that she loved her family and she would do anything to help them. He had seen her before at masquerade party she had attended with her brother. He only had a glimpse from far and she also had a mask on. He could see from her figure and the way she carried herself that she was an elegant woman and was drawn by her.

Who knew such an opportunity would land in his hand just when he wanted to make a move towards her. The method he used was shrewd but he really wanted her. At the party, he wasn't able to see her upclose but the moment she appeared at the doors of his elevator, he knew he was right just from the colour of her eyes.

Gaby thought that maybe it was a coincidence and so she didn't pry into it and only nodded her head. She out the glass back on the coffee table before speaking again,

"Mr Williams, about the reason I am here..." But she was interrupted by Seth.

"I know why you're here Miss Jones, my only worry is, what would I get in return if I help your father back to his feet," they had already discussed everything with Mr Jones and the only thing that was to be done today was to sign the agreement but he wanted to hear the business side of Gabriella since she also had her own hustle. And from the look of things, her father had not informed her about their agreement and he was going to keep it that way. 

If she heard it from him and not her father, things might become really bad to him. He didn't want to bring the situation from bad to worse. He had already done enough damage.

"Mr Williams, you know I'm not really into my father's business but I know your company have yet to get into real estates. There is no company that performs well in real estates than my father's. If you bring him back to his feet, I'm sure that you would not regret your decision," she couldn't say more but the little she said was really facts.

Seth had to agree that she was right. There was no any other real estates companies that could compare to the Jones'. They had been in the industry for long and had the best deals. That was also the reason why she had agreed to help the Jones' in addition to getting their daughter too.
